DPA Microphones APE40RS Acoustic Pressure Equalizer, 40mm Ball for 4006A and 4006C Microphones

You can elevate your audio recording experience with the APE40RS Acoustic Pressure Equalizer, a 40mm ball specifically designed for seamless integration with DPA 4000 series microphones, including the Reference Standard Microphone 4006A and the compact 4006C. This innovative and high-quality accessory, which replaces the former L40B, is a durable and reliable tool for professional audio recording.

The APE40RS is more than just a sphere-shaped acoustic pressure equalizer. It's a passive acoustic processor that functions as both a spatial and spectral modifier, using surface diffractions to modify the sound field near the microphone diaphragm. This unique feature is only possible with omnidirectional pressure microphones, making the APE40RS a standout in its category.

This equalizer offers a noticeable on-axis boost between 2 and 8 kHz and stronger off-axis attenuation than the APE30, enhancing the directivity of your recordings. At 4 kHz, the front-to-back sensitivity ratio is an impressive 8 dB, reducing the effects of reverberation and off-axis sources. With the APE40RS, you can modify the spectral characteristic of a source by simply altering the angle of incidence, allowing for a frequency boost, a flat response, or attenuation.

Whether you're recording rhythmic genres or symphonic music, the APE40RS Acoustic Pressure Equalizer can help you achieve a higher degree of naturalness and detail in your audio. It's an essential tool for anyone seeking to capture consistent, high-quality sound in different environments.
